ARCHIVED Gluten-free Coffee?
amyfeistel replied to amyfeistel's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Richard, Thanks. I think I found the culprit: my yogurt. I also did not have yogurt until today (typical work-day breakfast fare of yogurt and coffee). I eat Stonyfield Farm yogurt. I emailed them. Their flavored yogurts may contain trace amounts of gluten because a grain alcohol is used to extract flavors from spices for the "natural flavors.... -
ARCHIVED Citric Acid Can Contain Gluten
amyfeistel posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Here's a quote I found on this website: Open Original Shared Link " Another surprise hidden gluten is citric acid. When citric acid is made in the United States, it is made from sugar cane, sugar beets or corn; however, when it is produced in China, it may be made from wheat. " Anyone else heard of this? AUGH... I didn't realize that maltodextrin... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Coffee?

Several months ago, I decided to cut caffeine from my diet. Since decaf coffees usually taste terrible, I decided that my "reward" would be to consume some really lovely whole-bean decaf coffee.

amyfeistel replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi! Sounds like lunch is the culprit. I usually react with diahrrea within 30 minutes of ingesting even trace amounts of gluten. Hope you feel better soon! -Amy -
Julie, You can also invest in buying gluten-free frozen lunches for on the run at work/school. I do this because I often eat at my desk during the workday. Each week I grocery shop for the lunches I want to eat. Amy's Frozen Foods are gluten-free, healthy, organic, and absolutely delicious. You can read more here: Open Original Shared Link You...

ARCHIVED Ate Gluten By Mistake
amyfeistel replied to McDougall's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi! I have discovered that the longer I am gluten-free, the more sensitive I am when gluten does enter my diet accidentally. I usually respond with sickness within a 1/2 hour. My physician believes this is tied to the auto-immune part of celiac disease, meaning that the antibodies are not present because I have been on a gluten-free diet. This means...
